Read the article. This is BYU we're talking about, not the University of Alabama...

You don't understand because you're not from Utah, let alone Utah County, the location of BYU.

Saying that blacks are a minority there is a serious understatement.

I must say, BYU's Independent Study program for high schoolers (my bro home schools) is VERY VERY good!

Their History 41A (US History up to 1850) for 10th graders is AS hard as a soph-junior level class in COLLEGE!!

We would have but Colin Powell turned down the nomination.

I would have voted for him in a shot! :D

It's not that we're not race friendly(I think we are), it's just that it's 45,000 white people going to the same school! :D:D

Yeah, it's not that BYU is NOT race friendly. It's that there isn't a lot of races, other than white, here to be friendly too. :)

I used to like Powell until I saw him blatantly lying about his knowlege of what we are doing to people in Columbia in our little war on drugs. His body language totally gave him away. I honestly think that's why he didn't run for president, he knew he'd give himself away on every lie.

umm this is why I take everything Czar says with a grain of salt. His lack of general knowledge about our country and many of its institutions is normal for many americans, but then he goes and makes and contributes to a lot of political posts with an aura of knowledge and authority, when in reality, he knows jack sh*t.

About time? Why? Blacks only make up .4% of the BYU student body. Get real.

My mistake I was thinking about that school that wouldn't allow interracial dating.

Sorry about that :)

The fcuk you talking about? I'M BLACK. I'm going to guess that it's b/c only .4% make up the student body, and I'm also going to guess that it's b/c there aren't a large amount of black ppl in Utah...better yet, it could be that no black person at BYU was really interested in running before...

Stop perpetuating this stereotype of blacks with these big-ass chips on our shoulder, blaming everything on everything else...WE DO take responsibility sometimes, and we do recognize other little things like TOTAL LACK OF US IN A PARTICULAR PLACE!

BTW...regulate, Texmaster; I'm gonna be like you when my post count grows up...:D
